Let a child be a child. Parental
expectations from a child are often very unrealistic. Parents know it is their
responsibility to bring up a wholesome individual. Only, they don’t always get
it right.
Let us not get too critical of parents
though, because ultimately, they will only act according to their circumstances
and what they know to be the best decision at that moment. But, what we don’t
ponder on is what our peers have claimed, that “buddhi karmanusarini”, that is,
your karma determines your intellect.
Every child develops a perspective and that
may shape future relationships. For example, two middle class parents working
to make ends meet to make a comfortable life for their child might end up with
a child who grows up with a minus mother, minus father image and perspective
merely because the parents were not physically present because they were at
work no one’s fault. Yet, there arises conflict, disappointments, resentments
and all of that.
In life, perhaps, we just need to
understand each other as much as possible and even beyond. Because, Can anyone
live anyone’s journey? Can anyone judge anyone’s journey? Then what is left is
love and understanding. This energy can only spread cheer and good will.
